How do you pick stirrups?
How do you pick out stirrups? Currently have these plain jane ones that came with my saddle. They're not terrible but I know i can do better. I have pretty big feet (size 12-13). I have occasional ankle pain when riding. I mostly trail ride. Most rides under 4 hours but I'd really work up to some 6 or 8 hour rides.
What are the benefits to different tread widths? These are 2". I see a lot of 2 and 3 but occasionally also 4". What's best for what application?
How wide should I get them based on my boots width? My riding boots are about 5" at the widest point.
Any benefit to offset angled stirrups or are they a crutch for poor ankle flexibility?
Other considerations?
